The Firm

Last week's episode was preempted by U.S. Open coverage but the change wasn't reflected in the schedule in time, so my TiVo, at least, thought it was recorded so wasn't going to record tomorrow nights episode.

Thanks for pointing this out, I would have missed tomorrow's episode too.

They actually did air the right episode, though.. I have usually been manually recording (i.e. turning it into a single-checkmark), to make sure it records..

It's still entertaining, IMHO. So I guess they're going to just leave the "cheat on her husband" subplot un-finished?

You're lucky they even bothered to keep it on the air, it was one of the worst rated shows on network television.

You rarely see ratings so low from a mainstream network. Horrible, horrible show. Acting, writing, abysmal. Conceptually they basically recreated our legal and law enforcement systems as a bizarre fantasy world, without even any inherent, internal logic. Nobody with any intelligence, taste or self-respect watched this show.

It is one of only three or four series this last season we consistently followed. Picked up the Canadian episodes so we could see it sooner.

We need a network called the BAD network, for shows way beyond routine wretchedness, for people like me.

Final episode tonight. Haven't watched it yet. We will miss it, though haven't figured out why. I wasn't being facetious: this is just a terrible series in all elements. I guess, for those dozens of us who make up the total audience, we see the whole as somehow greater than the sum of its parts. It does somehow move along (despite the endless banal dialog badly delivered), maybe its saving grace.
